Our History

Methodism came to the Gold Coast in 1835, when the Rev. Joseph Rhodes Dunwell landed at Cape Coast. From the coast the gospel spread inland, and in 1979 the circuits and societies in and around Sunyani attained District status.

When The Methodist Church Ghana adopted the episcopal system in 1999, the Sunyani District became the Sunyani Diocese, led by a Diocesan Bishop.

The congregation gathered at the Wesleyan Convention, Sunyani Diocese

What we believe

Our Faith

We belong to the worldwide Methodist family that grew from the ministry of John and Charles Wesley. We confess the faith of the historic creeds and hold the Holy Scriptures as the supreme rule of faith and practice.

  • One God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
  • Salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, offered to all people.
  • The witness of the Spirit, giving assurance to believers.
  • Growth in holiness, shown in love of God and neighbour.
  • Two sacraments: Baptism and the Lord’s Supper.
